That's fucked up, Cash. Can you call him and bitch him out (and incidentally get him to tell you what the hell's going on?)
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm getting the pig!
Oh, Cashmere, that sounds like an awful situation. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that.

Mostly lurking...
Oh, Cashmere, that's freaky. I'd be freaking out too. Can you call and yell at the doctor, 'cause that's totally what I'd do. He should have talked to you about this.

Now tagless for your comfort.
He's not in the office today. So I get to fume and rant about it. He'd better fucking call me first thing tomorrow morning or I'm going postal on his ass.
I'm staying away from google because I've already read enough about the infant procedure to give me a panic attack.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And I'm pissed at my doctor for making this kind of decision without my knowledge or consent or even telling me what our options are.
Cash, he should never have scheduled a procedure without telling you first. It's probably just an oversight, but it's hella rude.
Now they are debating the definition and derivation of the word schmaltzy.
I'm curious too -- I've never been able to figure out how the idiomatic meaning of "schmaltzy" relates to chicken fat.

Because books.
Cash, he shouldn't have scheduled the procedure without discussing it with you first. I would call the doctor and ask to talk to him NOW about what it entails, why he (and the other MD) think it's necessary, and what Olivia's possible condition means -- i.e. is it really something that needs taking care of, or just one of those little weirdnesses.
I'm so sorry -- doctors can be such asshats sometimes.
x-posty, of course -- I see he's not there today. But tomorrow, man, first thing, he better be on the phone with you.

What, he doesn't have a pager? Seriously, make his office call him. If he can be so damn inconsiderate of you, you can play that game too.

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm guessing because it's thick and greasy and people feed it to you because they love you? Not bad for a Lutheran from flyover country, if I may say. But...not exactly a straight line...that metaphor.

What Brenda said, disturb his day if at all possible. What an asshat.
Sell, sell, sell, sj! And if you get more cash than you were expecting, feel free to book a flight to SF.
Are they selling flights for $14 now?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That doesn't sound right, Cash. That's definitely something your doctor should've discussed with you.
